Yes, we used it all year. The Quiz and Exam book has comprehension questions to respond to after each days reading. It also has Unit Quizes and Quarterly Exams, but I don't think MFW scheduled those in. We always did the comp. questions and sometimes I would add in a Unit quiz when I wanted to know she was retaining things :) All the answers are in the back of the book. I think it is a good tool to use along with the reading.gressman9 wrote:I am getting ready to order the high school Ancient History and lit for my daughter. So here is my question:

Menopause is when women stop getting their period. It's also called "the change." Menopause is different for each woman, but most women reach menopause around age 50.
As you get closer to menopause, your ovaries make less and less female hormones, called estrogen ("ES-tra-jin") and progesterone ("pro-JES-ter-own"). Eventually, your body stops making them completely. Symptoms of menopause can include:
It can take 3 to 5 years to go through menopause. Menopause is finished when you haven't had a period in 12 months. Once you've finished menopause, you won't be able to get pregnant.
Visiting the doctor can be stressful. It helps to have questions written down before your appointment. Print out this list of questions, and take it with you the next time you visit the doctor.

How to Recruit Top Talent Away from the Competition
Treat Your Talent Pipeline As a Rest Stop
By Peter Weddle for BioSpace.com
What's the number one problem with today's talent pipelines? Attrition. According to research, the number of people bailing out of recruiter-built networks typically reaches forty percent or more each year. Given the time and effort required to load a pipeline, that's a huge loss for any organization. What's the solution? Re-imagining the purpose of your pipeline.
Unfortunately, for many organizations, a talent pipeline is simply a resume database redux. Oh sure, today's pipelines are built on social media sites like Facebook or LinkedIn, but there's very little social activity actually going on. In fact, if there's any communications at all with the people in the pipeline, it's either repurposed job postings or hard sell promotions designed to drive traffic to the organization's Web-site (and its job postings).
Which begs the question: just what is the purpose of a talent pipeline? Is it simply a passageway way for moving candidates from a passive to an active candidate state? Or, is the goal something else altogether? Is a talent pipeline not a pipeline at all, but instead, a virtual rest stop for prospective employees?
Sure, you build talent pipelines to help fill your organization's future openings, but the goal of those pipelines is the experience they provide to individuals who have choices in the workplace. High caliber talent is almost always employed, so to recruit them, you must get them to do the one thing we humans most hate to do: change. You have to get them to leave their current employer, turn down offers from other employers and accept the position you're trying to fill for your employer.
That outcome simply will not occur with repurposed job postings and hard sell promotions. In fact, research indicates that the single best trigger for motivating change among passive, high caliber candidates isn't requirements and responsibilities, but reality – a reality they have the time to recognize and appreciate.
The best talent wants to know what it's like to work in your organization. Before they will even consider a job, they need to have a sense of what their employment experience will be like. To put it more bluntly, they must be assured that their personality and principles are aligned with the organization's culture and values so they will be comfortable in its work environment and, able to continue their career success by performing at their peak.
Offering a Glimpse of Reality
Talking about an organization's work culture and values is the conventional way of presenting its employment brand. That's what happens on most corporate career sites and on Facebook pages and in LinkedIn groups. Candidates are proselytized with carefully tested tag lines and peer testimonials.
This advertising-based approach doesn't influence the best talent. The only way to get them to change devils is to treat them as proto-employees. They have to believe that an organization already sees them as "members of the family." Why? Because doing so enables them to experience what it's like to be employed by that organization – to get a taste of reality.
How do you create this proto-employee experience?
That's the power and promise of talent pipelines. They are the perfect vehicle for simulating an organization's employment culture and values. First, however, the organization must give its pipeline participants the space to recognize and appreciate that reality. It does so by transforming the pipeline experience into a virtual rest stop, a place where they can get a break from the barrage of recruitment advertising and branding messages countless recruiters have been sending them.
Second, in the quiet space the pipeline provides, an organization's messaging should simulate what it's like to work there. Its messages should act like:
• a corporate newsletter and celebrate the accomplishments of the organization's employees, the people who would be the pipeline participants' peers if they joined the organization (from those making conference presentations to the bowling team's latest victory);
• a corporate bulletin board and invite them to participate in the kinds of events they would have access to if they were employees of the organization (from attending a company reception during their association's annual conference to joining the company's employees working on a Habitat for Humanity project one weekend):
• a corporate interoffice memo and request their input or assistance with certain organizational challenges and initiatives, just as they would be if they worked for the organization (from asking for their referrals for key open positions to seeking their input on the company's participation in a municipal ride-sharing program).
The term "talent pipeline" is misleading because it conjures up the image of a passageway that enables employers to move candidates from a passive to an active state. That transit-like approach, however, tends to generate high levels of attrition. A more effective alternative, therefore, is to see a talent pipeline as a virtual rest stop. It should be the one place where top talent can be free of recruitment advertising, while being persuaded to change employers by experiencing an organization's employment culture and values.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- There are so many ways to get into trouble online, but one important way to keep safe: Think first. This is the message students learn through programs, speakers and a living peace symbol, which 500 Maple Avenue Middle School eighth-graders made during ninth period Friday. "We are forming a giant peace symbol to represent our school and to stop bullying and inappropriate cyber behaviors," said Shelly Cromwell, the eighth-grade computer exploration teacher who spearheaded the school's activities. "We want to spread peace and be peaceful citizens." To that end, Cromwell put together a cyber-safety PowerPoint presentation that her classes watched Friday. Grouped at tables in the library, the 12- and 13-year-old students took in information about digital footprints, child pornography, sextortion, geotags and identity theft. Cromwell used YouTube videos of current local events to demonstrate the circumstances of bullying and sexting. One video, taken in October in Gloversville, showed two teenage girls attacking a woman while a third girl filmed the entire incident. Later, the video surfaced online and the teenagers were identified. The victim did not press charges, out of fear of reprisal, but the incident marked the girls as bullies or worse. Similarly, in 2008, then-20-year-old Joshua Lipton met his fate through a Facebook photo. Cromwell gave the students a handout with an Associated Press article about the case. Charged with drunken driving in an incident that seriously injured a woman, Lipton went to a Halloween party two weeks later dressed as a prisoner. When a picture of the "prisoner" appeared online, the prosecutor handling the case seized upon the photo as evidence that Lipton was an unrepentant partier. Eventually, Lipton was sentenced to two years in prison. The students appreciated having YouTube video and the PowerPoint slides to watch, instead of simply a traditional lecture. "Mrs. Cromwell did an excellent job of putting the program together," eighth-grader Nicholas DeSessa said. "It's different from the character-education programs we've had before," DeSessa's peer, Erin Susko, said. "It's been more conversational and relates to more of our own lives." Sexual texting, or sexting, has been especially problematic among teenagers, who often don't perceive the consequences of their actions. They may use their smartphones to take or send inappropriate pictures, passing the photos on to people they generally trust, like boyfriends or girlfriends. In the wrong hands, however, sexually explicit material can end up on the Internet, and no one can ever erase that move or get the pictures back. An educational YouTube video showed what happened to a teenage girl whose photos got online. Everyone everywhere knew who she was and what color underwear she had on. Cromwell stressed that anyone distributing sexual pictures of a child younger than 18 years of age can be charged with child pornography, even if the sender is the subject of the pictures, and even if the recipient is her boyfriend. "You can't be overeducated about the dangers of sexting," student Alex Manios said. Principal Stuart Byrne, who attended Cromwell's last session, described the results of a child-pornography conviction. Convicted people would be felons and registered on the sex offender list. They would be unable to live near schools or churches and unable to vote. Any sex offender's employer would know about the list. "At 12, 13, you're not looking at this," he told the students. "You aren't thinking that an inappropriate Facebook photo might keep you from being accepted by a college, for example." Eighth-graders Bryar Older and Tim Van Dusen were glad to learn more about the consequences of poor decisions. "I don't want to jinx anything," said the principal, smiling, "but we have noticed better behavior throughout the school since the character-education programs began. The kids are responsive."

Congenital afibrinogenemia is a rare, inherited blood disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. It occurs when there is a protein called fibrinogen is totally lacking. This protein is needed for the blood to clot.
This rare disease is caused by an abnormal gene that causes a severe lack of fiborgen. The gene must be passed down from both parents.
Milder forms can occur in people who inherit only one abnormal gene from their parents. Congenital afibrinogenemia can occur in males or females. The main risk factor is a family history of bleeding disorders.
If your health care provider suspects this problem, you will have lab tests to confirm the type and severity of the disorder.
This disorder usually shows up in children, often at birth.
Tests include:
You will have abnormal results on all of these tests if you have the disorder.
The following treatments can be used for bleeding episodes or to prepare for surgery:
People with this condition should get the hepatitis B vaccine. Having many transfusions raises your risk for getting hepatitis.
Excess bleeding is common with this condition. These episodes may be severe, or even fatal. Bleeding in the brain is a leading cause of death in patients with this disorder.
Call your health care provider or seek emergency care if you have excessive bleeding.
Tell your surgeon before you have surgery if you know or suspect you have a bleeding disorder.
There is no known prevention. You may want to seek genetic counseling if you or your partner has this condition and you are considering having children.

black grout
If I could I would love to be able to grout the white tiles in the kitchen or the bathroom with black grout. I really love how the black makes the tiles pop out and gives a really graphic industrial look to your kitchen or bathroom. I love how practical the grout would be and it wouldn't show up any stains which really is a pet peve of mine. Here are some beautiful photographs to inspire you over the weekend.

I love it!ReplyDelete
Really interesting combination of tiles, furniture and that wooden floor. i love whole arrangement of a place. kitchen is my favorite, I must say. Yes, agree with industrial vibe, but still there's also plenty of coziness. Perfect place indeed.ReplyDelete
this is absolutely great, love the minimal yet interesting look xReplyDelete
Truly an inspiration! I absolutely love it myself, would be perfect to freshen up the look of the kitchen, and it's great that it's practical at the same time.ReplyDelete
i think it's lovely too. there's something quite italian about it (maybe a memory from childhood). and yes, it totally solves the grubby grout problem which is a big pain in the bum :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the inspiration, always.ReplyDelete
+ thanks for leading me towards blokmilkshop. Purchased one of Ane's themes today for my blog.
I couldn't be happier. She's got a great eye for design.
Have a great weekend!
i like the "be nice or leave".ReplyDelete
I completely agree with you lady on the black grout! Not only is it easy on the eyes but, easy to keep clean too : )ReplyDelete
I've planned painting my (near)future kitchen tiles like that! :) The first picture has inspired me, too, but these other pictures were new for me. Beautiful and sharp interiors. Is the last one from Lotta Agaton shop? Looks like it could be, I have to go and check your links. :)ReplyDelete
xx Peeta,
Beautiful inspiration! I want them too :)ReplyDelete
I have black grout in our kitchen and yes it is stainproof. It also always looks nicer in a photo than IRL to be honest. Wish that part weren't true. :-/ReplyDelete
I love the black grout! I really miss my old apartment! The walls were white with black grout. Of course the building was old so the entire apartment had cute little vintage details. Thanks for the inspiring photos!ReplyDelete

i love the poivre [french for pepper] dish towel and the 'be nice or leave' sign – such lovely details.ReplyDelete
I'm in the same situation! I'm so in love with this "black grout on white tiles" effec tbut I had to move to white on white at the end: the lack of width consistency in the grout is so great that a black contrast would have turned out awful. I guess this is the sad side of renting!ReplyDelete
I've just used black grout in my kitchen and it looks wonderful. We did have white, which had become grubby and stained. So my husband used a special grinding tool which removed the old grout and left the tiles intact. We then just re-grouted. Do it!!!! xxReplyDelete
We put black grout with white subway tiles in our bathroom. I love the contrast but we did not use a good tiler. Therefore any imperfection is really magnified. It is a great look just make sure you use someone who has worked with colored grout before.ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments, I love hearing from you!

Peter Morkah, M.SS.CC. reports that the first opening day of the new medical dispensary on the grounds of our Formation House in Owerri, Nigeria, was greeted by over 200 people seeking medical attention. The Dispensary is served by four volunteer doctors and a nurse from the teaching hospital in Orlu, each giving one day a week to the new dispensary. In addition a local pharmaceutical company is providing free medications as needed. Fr. Morkah and the priests and seminarians are deeply touched by the outpouring of gratitude from the villagers for establishing the dispensary and allowing them to get much needed health care close to their homes. Previously they were forced to travel by bus to the city and then often were unable to have the means to pay for treatment. Through the generosity of a private family foundation grant, local support and additional support from donors from the USA development program and the North American Delegation, this special project has been completed.

I converted an image I would like to use as a sticker on my car to a Targa image in Photoshop 7.0, then used the help->create avatar button in the TMUF launcher to create the thumbnail, then placed both the original targa and the thumbnail in a folder, and placed the folder in the TMU\gamedata\painter\stickers, but I still do not see the sticker in the list when I open the editor - I tried also placing the folder in documents\<user>\trackmania\painter\stickers to no avail, the game refuses to load the sticker into the editor for some reason. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit - what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Those valiant souls who study yoga will over time know about the discipline of spiritual practice. Their yoga teachers will admonish them to breathe, to feel their body, to listen to their body and to ask the body what it wants. Yoga is only about measured movements, releasing stressful negativity from the body, and being healthy overall. Yoga is also about the peace of release as stress, worry and pain leave the body when the yoga student finally lies down to 'take a Savasana,' or rest.
Savasana is one of the most important 'postures' in yoga and literally it means to feel the body at rest. Feel the body at rest is a novel concept. What does that mean and what does it have to do with sleep?
When we go to sleep, most of us just plop down in bed, exhausted from a day of trying to cram way too much into about 18 hours of useable time. We have probably listened to everyone else's issues, worked hard at problem solving and projected our thoughts to tomorrow's challenges. Then we expect our body to 'just go to sleep.' Computers can just go to sleep, but human beings cannot do this. Human beings need time to process the volume of emotional events that have happened during a modern day.
So much of the time, even very spiritual people are too exhausted to pray and yet they want to, they want to exercise that spiritual process of connecting to the Divine before they enter the dimension of sleep. Yet the 'busyness' of their day, the demands of dynamic mind to solve huge, complicated issues leads them away from that critical Divine connection.
Human beings often view sleep as a necessary distraction from the amount they have to get done. Some people try to train themselves to sleep less, thinking—wrongly—that they will get so much more done. This just isn't true.
Human bodies need physical sleep to repair all of the systems in a functioning body. The body only repairs itself at night during the sleep state. Quick naps may refresh a person but that is not enough time to allow the body to process out all of the adrenalin that we each absorb during a busy day. The body also has to process the volume of healthy and unhealthy food that we have eaten. The body also has to evaluate itself to see if there are pathogens that need to be expelled through kidneys and liver. All systems have to be evaluated, given healing and brought back up to functioning levels for each person to expect to function during the day.
That process takes a full eight hours to work successfully. Not five or six and a half, but a full eight hours of continuous, uninterrupted sleep. This is not a luxury; it is a requirement for good health, a sharp mind and strong muscles and organs. When asked how many hours of sleep a body needed, Edgar Cayce responded "At least seven and a half to eight hours each twenty-four." (Reading 462-16).
The creative process desperately requires sleep. The more sleep, the more creative we can be no matter what our jobs. Creative problem solving is a creative process. When we sleep, our diligent subconscious starts to work on our body to realign, repair and nourish our physical structure. Our conscious self leaves the body to its work and reconnects to the Divine, our Higher Self. This is why prayer prior to sleep is always a positive thing to do. The more we pray, the more we open ourselves up to the tender mercies, the wisdom and the energy of the Heaven world. We can always ask for the Divine to be with us when we sleep so that we can assure ourselves that critical connection with the hope of creating the wonderful and powerful energy of tomorrow.
Honoring our body, spirit and mind with our connection to the Divine helps us to grow on every level, to evolve into spiritual beings. It also provides the physical body with spiritual nourishment, something only sleep, delicious sleep can provide!

Morgan Stanley Finds Top Dividend Yield in Telecom, Utilities, MLPs
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Morgan Stanley is out with a new report detailing its best high-yield dividend plays, a list heavy on telecom, tobacco, utilities and master-limited partnerships. MS's recommendations:
- AT&T Inc. (T), currently trading at $35.50 and yielding 5.1%. MS has a base price target of $37, bear case of $32 and bull case of $42. MS cites T's defensive characteristics, its highest dividend yield among Dow 30 companies and its record of raising dividends for 29 straight years.
- BCE Inc. (BCE), $44.57, 5.1% yield. Base price target $47, bull $56, bear $36. MS says the Canadian telco industry has better fundamentals than its U.S. counterpart, the wireless sector has only 3 major players and penetration stands at only 76% versus 100% in the U.S, suggesting growth opportunities.
- CenturyLink Inc. (CTL): $40.54, 7.15%. Base price target $50, bull $55, bear $34. MS says its base case offers a 29% total return with CTL offering a cash-rich balance sheet and strong cash-flow generation despite secular pressures and risks regarding the Qwest integration and rising capex.
- Philip Morris (PM) $87.52, 3.9%. Base price target $95, bull $105, bear $76. MS says PM's "fundamentals remain best in class," it operates in an inherently attractive industry with high profit margins and substantial free cash flow, and it benefits from exposure to both emerging and developed markets.
- Ameren Corp. (AEE). $32.71, 4.9% Base price target $39, bull $46, bear $33. MS says AEE's decision to exit merchant generation is a positive and important catalyst, and sees a 25% total return potential with above-average dividend if AEE's utility business were to trade in line with mid-cap peers.
- Duke Energy Corp. (DUK) $68.96, 4.5%. Base price target $73, bull $80, bear $56. MS urges investors to "ignore transition and focus on value and clarity." While 2013 should see flat EPS growth, MS says Duke shares look compelling based on a total return potential of over 15%, and MS expects regulatory overhangs to clear through the next year.
- Oneok Partners LP (OKS) $58.30, 4.85%. Base price target $62, bull $70, bear $46. MS sees a strong balance sheet, fee-based income and a diversified asset base offsetting areas of commodity price exposure.
- Plains All American Pipeline (PAA). $52.35, 4.3%. Base price target $54, bull $62, bear $40. MS calls PAA a blue-chip MLP with multiple growth platforms, a premier management team and diverse, strategically positioned assets with strong access to lower-cost capital.

You've heard it enough times, "Hire for cultural fit, train for skills." It makes sense, it creates cohesive workforces and reduces retention rates –but how exactly do companies assess a cultural fit? Companies like Zappos that are known for their focus on cultural fit and employee engagement have taken to adding a whole other interview to the hiring process, called the culture interview. Here's what a cultural interview looks like.
We're not talking about using "fit" as an excuse to pass on people you don't like, or who aren't dressed the same as the cool kids. Real cultural fit is assessed with a solid definition of the culture of the workforce, not a feeling recruiters get in the interview process.
Culture is based on the core values of the company –the mission, goals and business objectives that set you apart from your competition. For instance, if one of your company's values is a focus on being environmentally friendly and your candidate roles up in a Hummer, you can probably assume their values are not in line with those of the organization.
In an inspiring and helpful piece from OpenX CEO, Tim Cadogan, he shares lessons on how to define company values. Cadogan said:"Taking advantage of this opportunity to involve everyone in explicitly codifying our values, I began gathering everyone in the company in groups of 8-10 and talking about what we all wanted our company to be like and how we wanted to interact with each other and our customers. A key part of the process was for me to lead and facilitate the discussion but not to shape the conversation too much. Out of that we synthesized five clear and distinct values that spoke to the ethos we were trying to create."
Now that the culture has been defined, the recruitment team can take the individual values that complete the culture, and craft thoughtful questions that will either identify those values in candidates, or reveal their absence. While these questions will all be different based on the organization's unique values, Hubspot, known for their strongcompany culture, offers several generic suggestions, and here are a few:
"What concerns to you have about our company?"
"What is the toughest decision you had to make in the last few months?"
"Tell me about a time when you had to slog your way through a ton of work. How did you get through it?"
This is the point in the recruitment process that the recruiter will compare the rated results of both the skills interview and the culture interview. If neither are rated, this process can get muddy quickly. The right candidate will meet the minimum skill requirements and have a strong cultural fit. One or the other simply won't do.
HRExaminer Editorial Advisory Board Member, Chris Havrilla (@Havrilla) challenges decision makers to "Own who they are as a team". Havrilla said:"…it's time to get even more granular. What are the team dynamics? Who are the players? How would someone new coming in interact with existing employee? What role would they play? See beyond tasks and responsibilities to how people function together. Know who you are so you can assess appropriately."
Hiring for cultural fit isn't really a difficult task, but it's nearly impossible if the culture isn't defined and communicated. That first step is crucial to keep the organization on their projected path. Even the most defined values won't be learned or lived through osmosis; they have to be a part of every hiring decision the company makes.
We would like to help you make cultural fit a stronger part of the recruitment process. Our applicant tracking software allows decision makers to concentrate on the human side of human resources, while tech takes care of the rest.

When someone mentions cultur(al firt), I reach for my Mauser"
I think this is largely a waste of resources:
I believe "cultural fit" means: "you get along with a lot of people that the bosses like.".
1) You don't need to get along with a lot of people here, largely just the ones you deal with day to day.
2) The less actual face-time you have with someone, the less they have to "fit in", e.g.while someone might not be tolerable around you 40 hrs/week, they might be tolerable around you 16 hours/week. This is "another good argument for maximizing tele-work.
3) If people are only going to be there for a few years (and realistically in most dynamic orgs. that's likely to be the case), it matters less how they fit in for the "long haul"- we live increasingly in an ii'll be gone, you'll be gone, let's do the deal" world.
4) The presumptions that the culture you have (aka: the way the founders want it to be) is the way it should be and that it's how it should remain in the future as the company grows and adapts are both dangerous to make and probably false.
5) What the words say and the actions that result from them are often far apart.
Consequently, time, money, and effort devoted to C'orporate culture" could mo

I left my camera at work today, apparently.
That kind of sucks, because I forgot to show off the new low-mounted halogen setup. Okay, it's my old NiteRider setup, but positioned on the fork as a "fog" light for bad weather and/or backup. Why's it down there? I'd love to hoodwink you with some scientific mumbo-jumbo about how light from down low cuts back on glare from fog and rain because of the reflection angle or something, but the truth is that I, Captain Dashboard, have no more room on the handlebars amd stem for both the NiteRider's lamp and battery pack.
Oh well, maybe I'll show you tomorrow.
The semi-slick tires gave me a bit of a surprise today on the way home, but I was also dealing with a tailwind. I'm notably more tuckered than usual but I actually kept up a good speed on both legs of the commute after going over my numbers. They just FEEL slow, and likely require more effort than the narrower, high-pressure tires I'm used to.
I noticed two more brand new bike commuters this afternoon (and one bike ninja this morning I hadn't seen before) and there was a really old but freshly tuned-up mountain bike locked up next to Hybridzilla at work when I left. This one looked to be hanging upside down in a garage for at least a decade, then taken to a shop over the weekend for an overhaul. New cables, chain, tires, brakes, all installed on a bike with old everything else. Along with the red nu-classic Schwinn Point Beach from May 7th (and a few days after that), this makes the second bike other than my own to lock up here. Or, the third vehicle other than my own if you count the Buddy 125 scooter, which no longer locks to the bike rack, but now to a concrete pillar a few dozen yards away.
What a perfect Segway into Scooterville (pun intended, it's not a typo), has anyone else noticed the scooter phenomenon? I swear, every time I turn around I see 2-3 new bicyclists on the road, adorned with backpacks or cheap seatpost racks loaded with stuff. But for every new bicyclist I see on the road, I see more than five scooters! The entire motorcycle lot at work (perhaps 30 spaces or so) was, for the most part, full. And there were maybe 4 actual motorcycles there. The rest were 50-200cc scooters. This mirrors what I'm seeing on the road as well. I can't go anywhere without hearing a weed eater engine sneaking up behind me then zipping around.
You'd almost think people are getting it. The little petite chick driving the 12-foot-wide black Hummer H1 all by herself and parking it in front of Town Topic for breakfast every morning? How about the 1980's Caddy doing burnouts and donuts in the middle of Southwest Blvd to do a U-turn? Yeah, they restore my faith in the ever-present IQ deficit of Kansas City motorists.
The Monday night ride was a blast. We went cyclo-X style complete with a running dismount to go up some stairs, around a corner, and into some neighborhood. Then, we later did some off-roading. Mark's rides are always a blast.
I wound up with a little under 50 miles for the day. I still haven't caught up to Dave, what with his little 90-mile training adventures and century club rides. I'm looking forward to riding with him again for Friday's June Full Moon ride.

Captain Dashboard! I love it. Thanks for the laugh. Really. You just made my day. You have many kindred spirits here in Maine. I will often look at a bike on the repair stand and wonder, what with so much going on on the handlebars, does this rider have time to even look where they are going. Flashers, computers, horns and bells. Baskets, bags, and extra bottle mounts. There are even add on brackets that simulate more bar room. One fellow had a bracket attached to a bracket attached to his bars so he could get his lights about 12 inches in front of his bike. Why? I don't ask why anymore. Madness always has a method for someone.
You should have gone with the science mumbo jumbo thing. But the truth is so much more entertaining. I like that about you Noah. You are a no BS kind of guy.

Well, Crum, here's the deal. All that's on my "dashboard" is my DiNotte 200L LED headlight and my Trek Incite 11i bike computer. Hybridzilla has a threaded headset and stem, though, which is thin and puny and does not lend itself well to having things lashed to it. A velcro strap holds the 4 AA batteries and my digicam holster to the stem. That's it.
I have room on the handlebars for the NiteRider's halogen bulb, but there's not a suitable place to strap the battery pack. In fact, even with nothing on the stem, it's too small and short to mount the NiteRider's pack.
On The Twelve and The Goat, beefy threadless stems provide ample room for the massive battery pack, and that velcro strap will easily hold the digicam and the DiNotte's batteries as well.
Those extension bars have always cracked me up. So have the extra water bottle holders on the handlebars. Of course this is coming from the guy who occasionally carries Two bottles in the frame and two more on the panniers... Hmm. Yep, I think I still qualify as Captain Dashboard to a certain extent.

Hi Noah,
I split my commuting duties between bicycles and a Honda Silverwing 600cc scooter. I work at three different hospitals, so I take the scooter twice a week on the longest trips (about 40 miles round trip mostly on freeway at 70 mph). I use the bicycles for the shorter trips (32 miles and 12 miles round trips). To increase my cycling range (and ease)I'm taking my Trek 7300 in today to have an electric drive system installed. It's a lithium ion pack, rear wheel hub electric motor assist set up from Bionx. I view it as an experiment in alternate energy transportation. I may ditch the scooter from time to time and take the Trek to the furthest away hospital.

I've noticed the scooter phenomena around here as well. Every day there is at least one, and most days more. That doesn't surprise me nearly as much as the relatively small number of bicycles. I see one or two every morning, but I expected to see double that and more.
I've not seen any bike ninjas for months, and that doesn't upset me in the slightest. Then again, they are ninjas. They're not meant to be seen.
I'm really looking forward to the June Full Moon Ride. That's going to be a blast. With 51 miles in that ride, I'll probably reduce Saturday's ride to 65-75 or so. :)

I think its a marketing trick, they want people to think they have to sub, lest they not get enough subscriptions for the line to continue.
I think they need a certain amount of gauranteed sales to justify moving forward with the line.
MOTUC has enough of a built-in fanbase that they don't need to resort to that. Watchmen is new... I'm guessing they'll go through with that regardless.

text: raymac46 2,676 Posted October 26, 2017 My two primary PCs (desktops) are aging. Let's call them Mr. Upstairs and Mr. Downstairs. Mr Upstairs is now 5 years old and Mr. Downstairs is 4. Neither were burners when new nor were they bleeding edge. So if the past is any indication I should be thinking about replacement. I usually had to replace a 5 year old PC for a couple of reasons: Obsolete operating system - I mean what sane person would be using Windows XP or Me nowadays? Especially online. Old or failing hardware - I wouldn't want a 32 bit processor, IDE, no PCIe, SATA 1, Wifi G or USB 1 today. And hard drives can crap out easily enough. However both Mr. Upstairs and Mr. Downstairs don't qualify under the above criteria. Mr. Upstairs is a Commercial grade Acer Veriton M with a solid motherboard and quad core Intel i5 Sandy Bridge processor. Not the latest or most energy efficient but OK. I have upgraded RAM, power supply & video card and added an SSD so it's perfectly capable of running my train sims and keeping my wife happy. Its cooling isn't the best but I added a fan to exhaust warm air. It's making a few graunchy noisies on a cold boot but once the fan controllers get working everything quiets down. It runs Windows 10 pretty well off the SSD. Mr. Downstairs (using it now) is an all Linux, all AMD homebuilt with a Gigabyte high quality mobo and a quad core Trinity APU. It has lots of RAM, an SSD/HDD combo and a low end AMD video card. It runs Linux Mint. It is quite fast and capable of web surfing, videos and any office work I need to do. It has 2.4 GHz wifi N which works just fine. Both machines have nice displays, capable speakers and wifi mouse/keyboard combos. They can do anything I want today and quite frankly the only reason I would want to replace them would be if they break down and cannot be fixed economically. Neither one having a failure would put me offline because I have lots of other machines here. My wife would be unhappy if Mr. Upstairs failed but she could make do until I got something new(er.) So it's a matter of how long can this keep goin' on? I have never been in this situation before so I don't know. I do know that some really old desktops are out there running Linux - one I gave away must be 12 years old now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMS - Printed Circuit Boards
IMS boards (insulated metallic substrate) are made of a metallic base material, usually aluminum or copper and a thin insulator layer (prepreg) with high thermal conductivity which carrying the copperlayer of the conductor tracks. They are used when a lot of heat, as occurs for example in high-power LEDs or in Power-MOFETs, to be discharged perpendicular to the circuit board in a rear heatsink. A key criterion in selecting suitable material for a specific application, besides thermal stability, thickness of the copperlayer and thickness of the prepreg, is the thermal conductivity of the prepreg as well as its capability to withstand the applied voltage.
The photo above shows a detail of a circuit board for use with high-power LEDs for industrial application (customer logo on the single PCB defaced). Evident is a register hole (top left), 10 single PCBs (12x20mm) with mounting holes, the tracks with the "Hot Air Leveling" - method (HAL) unleaded pre-tinned solder pads, the green soldermask, my customer-ID, the PCB-ID, and the yellowish-green insulating layer (prepreg) between copper and the non-visible aluminum carrier. The individual printed circuit boards can be separated after assembly by simply breaking along the scored lines of weakness. The material has, besides an excellent thermal stability, a thermal conductivity of 3W/mK and is significantly better than conventional materials with typical 1.6 W/mK.
The photo below shows an unassembled IMS-PCB made of the same high quality material which is in use for the new interior lighting modul (Energy Saving LED-Modul for Indoor Use).

U.S. EPA: Further Evaluation Needed to Determine Safety of PCB Disposal at Clinton Landfill
Release Date: 03/22/2012
Contact Information: Joshua Singer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 312-353-5069
(CHICAGO – March 22, 2012) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has completed its initial review of more than 450 public comments on a proposal to dispose of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at the Clinton Landfill in DeWitt County, Illinois. Based on this review, EPA has decided that further evaluation of site hydrogeology will be needed before making a final decision on Clinton Landfill, Inc.'s application to dispose of PCB-contaminated material at this site.
In March 2011, U.S. EPA opened a public comment period on the proposal. On June 9th, more than 200 people attended a public hearing hosted by U.S. EPA at Clinton High School. The comment period was extended to a total of five months in response to a request from local residents. Information on the federal review process and the Toxic Substances Control Act is available at: https://www.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/rcra/ClintonLandfill/

UPDATE: He's back down! Safe and well.
UPDATE: 2012-10-14 He's going up, right now!
Baumgartner's mission to the edge of space will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than fifty years. Supported by a team of experts, he will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to almost 37000 metres and then make a potentially record-breaking freefall jump in an attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (about 1236 kilometres per hour at sea level and 20 Celsius). Apparently, he will also deliver invaluable data for medical and scientific research on his downward journey.
We broadcast the live event at the time, but here's the archived video from his sponsors.:

James Stevens is an aging butler at Darlington Hall. In the 1950s, at the suggestions of his new American employer, he takes a drive into the West Country, both as a holiday but also to negotiate the return of Miss Kenton, a former employee. But what preoccupies Stevens along his trip are the highlights of his career which are intertwined with historical events and personal losses. As he gets closer to reuniting with Miss Kenton the motives of the trip become clearer, and Stevens' consummate professionalism softens to personal longing.
Stevens' preoccupations with professional standards and social strictures of England, hyperbolised within the manner house, provide the bulk of his narration. But the undercurrents of these thoughts, his emotional stagnation, obsession with dignity, and ineptitude in personal exchanges, create a rich narrative. The true poignancy of the novel comes with Stevens' unawareness of his own losses, the certainty of his views unsettled throughout the text as these very expressions flow from his mind.
Affecting without becoming sentimental, The Remains of the Day is beautifully written, achingly compassionate, and completely stirring.

Instead of pissing off a whole culture with an Indian Revolution, this time automotive advertisers are putting a Joker-like spin on Honda's Jazz campaign for the sub-continent. Why so serious?
Disregarding any pop culture references, Honda Cars India decided this would be a great way to represent their home market Honda Jazz (our Fit). Is it just us or does this seem like a crazy bad idea? (Hat Tip To Andre!)

With all the talk about the superior performance of the Tesla Model S, it's easy to forget that most electric cars aren't quite as swift. But what the Wolkswagen XL1 lacks in speed and acceleration, it makes up in fuel efficiency. The plug-in hybrid was tested at 340mpg, but the officials in charge of the test imposed a rounding error, from 0.83L/100km to 0.9L/100km (not sure why), bringing the official mileage to 314mpg. That's still decent enough to travel 300 miles on $1.5 of electricity and $4.5 of diesel, at European energy prices. That works out to $6 for 300 miles with the XL1, versus $13.68 with the Model S.
Of course, there are some drawbacks. The diesel engine develops 48bhp, the e-motor 27bhp, which means that acceleration is crap, taking 12.7 seconds to get to 60mph. And if you keep going past that, you'll top out at 100mph. And to make things really bad, you can't really take advantage of the super mileage, because the gas tank is only 10L. Of course, you can still travel long distances by refuelling along the way, and you'll still get 141mpg that way, the only inconvenience being that you have to stop every 300 miles. But we're not sure where we sit on this one. Wolkswagen isn't planning on mass production anyway, so obviously nor does VW. There's no official price, and the talk is that 50 will be made, with maybe more if there's demand. So it's a wait and see.

Justin Bieber Didn't Thank Selena Gomez In His VMA Acceptance Speech! Was It On Purpose?
Justin Bieber took home one of the most coveted moon men of the night at the MTV VMAs, but he didn't give girlfriend, Selena Gomez one word of gratitude!
Uh oh…Is there trouble in paradise? Ever since Selena Gomez, 19, and 17-year-old Justin Bieber went public with their romantic relationship, they've basically been attached at the hip. They look to be totally in love, but jaws dropped when Justin didn't include Selena in his acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs after winning Best Male Video for "U Smile."
Even though Selena gave him a kiss on-camera and a standing ovation as he took the stage to accept his award, Justin only thanked God and his fellow nominees for the honor.
"I just want to say thank you so much. Not only to god, but to Jesus. Because I wouldn't be here without him. He's really blessed me. He's put me in this position, so I want to say thank you so much. Also, I want to say thank you to all the other nominees. They were amazing. I'm a true fan of all of them, so I want to share this award with all of them. You guys are amazing!"
Sel and Justin weren't an official couple when he did the video, but her unwavering loyalty, love and support for the pop-phenom since coupling up makes us think she deserved a shout out! Maybe it was jealousy over Selena's presenting duties with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner, but no one is really sure why he decided to keep Selena separated from his speech. We'll be keeping a close eye on the two!
Why do you think Justin left Selena out of his speech? Let us know in the comments!

A lot of Stones studio recordings from the late 70s circulate on a dizzying amount of overlapping collections, which are cobbled together with little rhyme or reason.
I have gathered the outtakes I have of the album's 10 songs. I'm hesitant to say this set is complete -- especially since I found a few late additions a couple of weekends ago (and some take #s are missing) -- but it's close.
The last four are different edits of the LP tracks, which were either released as 45s or included on 8-track. I have noted the approximate differences in time.

Kids Vision: a collection of children's ideas for the future of technologyis a fascinating new publication from Latitude.
Latitude has been engaged in a wide range of projects that have engaged children in telling stories and imaging what their future world will be like. The core learning from talking to children about their expectations of the internet, their stories about robots and their approach to dealing with environmental issues is that children view technology very differently than adults. Children experience technology in an emotional way; they don't see it as separate from themselves, but as a part of what it is to be human. The approach Latitude takes is very respectful of the capacity that children have and does not talk down to them, but is genuinely interested in how the people who will be making the future decisions about our world think about it now.
It is put best in a write up about the project where Latitude talks about its work with children.
Over the past few years, Latitude has taken a unique stance when it comes to children and technology: young people shouldn't be merely passive recipients of media and technology, as they're often thought to be — rather, they should be active participants in imagining and creating the future of the Web. Why? Because "digital natives" have a more intuitive relationship with new technologies than many adults have, and because they have different expectations about technology. They instinctively expect it to respond to them in very human-like ways — to motivate and empower them, often serving as a sort of companion, rather than merely a tool for solving specific problems. While many adults think about technology as separate from humanness, kids tend to think of it as fundamentally human.
You can find out more information and purchase the book ($15) or the ebook ($5) over at Latitude's website.

Whether or not you agree that videogames are a healthy pastime, you can now become the next Stallone or Schwarzenegger by simply switching on your Wii.
Riiflex dumbbells beef you up and keep you entertained, apparently
Register Hardware recently brought you news of a set of prototype dumbbells into which the Wii's Nunchuck and Remote slotted, with the aim of making lifting weights a more pleasurable pastime.
Now the firm behind the Riiflex weights has finalised the design and made two differently weighted sets available for order online.
The green dumbbells each weigh in at 2lbs, but the blue dumbbells are each a meatier 4lbs. The Wii controller's aren't included.
Two different weights are available
Each dumbbell has an "ergonomic" grip and, by adding weight to your Wii workout, will help make you "Wii Fitter", the manufacturer claimed.
Both sets can be ordered online now for delivery this summer. The green weights cost $35 (£24/€26) - the blue set is priced at $40 (£27/€30). ®

Anyone that is into music would have to be living under a rock NOT to be familiar with NWA. If anyone needs reminding, this group really did change the rap game and gave birth to legends like Ice Cube and Dr. Dre who have gone on to do amazing things.
I will admit coming from the East Coast, I was not overly fond of NWA when they hit the rap scene way back in the day. However, I always realized that they changed the rap game and really changed the entire music industry.
As a lover of music, I try to provide music education to my son by giving him a well rounded list of artists that left a profound impact on the music industry. Also, I wouldn't want him to get on Twitter and say " Who's that Paul McCartney dude?" So, since I felt that I needed to educate him about some of the folks that were game changers in the music industry, NWA was one of the groups that I taught him about. When there was word that there was going to be a movie called Straight Out Of Compton, depicting the story of NWA, this was immediately on my list of movies that I HAD to see. I don't know that I will take my son to see it, maybe after I view it first to see if it's age appropriate.
There has been a LOT of buzz about this movie and the excitement about it's release has been brewing for a while, but tonight that buzz hit social media like a bomb. With so many marketers TRYING and failing at social, the marketing team working on the promotion of Straight Out Of Compton got it right.
This marketing team created an online app, to allow people the ability to customize a picture of their choice with the "Straight Outta [they add what they want]" slogan. What this essentially created was an amazing buzz about this movie and FREE social media exposure for the release of the Straight Out Compton movie. The buzz was created when people started sharing their customized photos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The #StraightOutta was trending so much on Instagram that it also started trending on Twitter. It was by far one of the most brilliant uses of social media that i've ever seen.
I always love seeing creative uses of social media in the music industry. This is especially the case since a lot of my clients ARE in the music industry. I also love seeing other media channels like tv and the movie industry, rock this space by implementing unique and creative campaigns that integrate social media NOT just throw it in as an after thought.
As usual, I welcome any comments, good, bad, ugly or indifferent. Feel free to chase me down on Facebook, Twitter or G+

It has been 5 years since I started out Techie Buzz, a venture that started out of nothing and went on to become so big that I cannot fathom it. There have been so many criticisms all these years, which I have tried to talk through, walk through and quench. However, there have been bigger accolades and thousands of people thanking us for the work we have been doing.
I have always appreciated friends and I have had so many of them. Since we went mainstream none of them have ever left us. I know it has been a big journey and it will definitely be a bigger one going forward.
I hope the time you spent here was good and hope that what we do in future will be good enough for you to continue your support for us. Thank you each and every of our ~100 million users who visited us over these 5 years, we appreciate you. We will thrive to be the best in the future.
P.S. We will have a big birthday bash soon.

ROCHESTER -- A Ski Joring Clinic & Demonstration is planned Saturday, January 12, at the Myhre Equine Complex at 100 Ten Rod Road, Rochester.
Spectators are welcome. Registration is 10 AM. Spectators noon. Clinic Registration $50.00. Audit $20. Spectators free.
Hot food and drinks will be available. All proceeds will benefit the Dover High School CTC Equine Program.
Tack up and clip into your skis or snowboard for this family-and-friends event. Ski Joring is a fast-growing, family-friendly sport with races held in both the United States and Canada. The courses range from straight, to J-hook, to horseshoe shape. They consist of cones to weave around, jousting rings to spear through with your arm, and three jumps for the skier to negotiate. The course is timed, with a penalty for missed obstacles.
The different divisions enable you to take this sport from a youngster just starting out on skis to the extreme skier with the need for speed. Register for our Clinic and learn how it's done. Skiers will learn from a professional ski instructor how to dally their ropes and effectively maneuver the course. Riders will bring their horses and work with trainers teaching the horses to accept a skier. The riders will also learn how to set their skiers up for pending obstacles. If you need a skier or a rider, we will match you with one or more at the clinic.
So, if you enjoy cheers of encouragement from a crowd of spectators, and you enjoy fun in the snow, come join us!
